Un accidente en la montaña

Description
This sixth season of Simple Stories in Spanish is inspired by requests from my listeners. Today’s story comes from a request for vocabulary for medical interactions. Julio loves winter because winter means skiing. He makes sure to wear all the right clothing: hat, scarf, gloves, and - most importantly - his helmet. When his helmet falls off the ski lift, he thinks he will be fine if he just goes slow. Unfortunately, though, accidents happen.  This story is told mostly in the the present tense with one paragraph in the past tense. Repeated words and phrases include “telesilla” (ski lift), “casco” (helmet), “cabeza” (head), “heridas” (wounds), “puntadas” (stitches), “corte” (cut), and “choca” (crash). No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. You can find a transcript of the story and read along at https://smalltownspanishteacher.com/ . Happy listening! ¡Muchas gracias por escuchar! Thank you for listening, and a HUGE thank you for your support. I really enjoy creating and sharing simple, comprehensible stories in Spanish.
